I still feel this game lacks too much and it's hard to get back into liking it anymore. The AI in this game is horrible and the villagers need more of a purpose. XP is pretty pointless too. It would be nice if there were more biomes and more random buildings in every biome with stuff to loot. They also need to completely change their weather system because it sucks. I also noticed if you use the bed everyday the weather effects will never kick in on consoles, I don't know about the PC version since I haven't played it in forever because it runs like crap even though I can hit 300+ fps. Personally I think once Cube World makes it's way to consoles I will never touch Minecraft again. I don't really like creating things that have already been created a million times by everyone, it just feels boring to create in Minecraft.

Personally, I would make a Minecraft 2 and change it up a bit but keep the original Minecraft on the market and supported and keep the mods coming for it. Minecraft 2 I would like to see a bit of a graphic improvement, but not a total modern look since that would kill the feel of Minecraft. Just a bit of polish like a normal Minecraft texture pack and let it go.

I would also like to see more weapons, more tools and I would prefer they put some physics into it. I want tunnels and overhangs that can't support their own weight to collapse. I want floating islands to not exist. Just a tad more realism. Monsters of different types and sizes would be nice too. The dragon is nice, but pretty much everything else is man sized. I would also like some improvements to redstone and how some of the doors, switches and pistons work. The freedom to make more machines and contraptions would be great. Maybe add steam and/or hydraulic power for variety.

Either way I probably won't get what I want, but regardless I think they should keep the original out there since it's pretty much a phenomenon all to itself and no matter what there will be people who prefer it to whatever comes next. Just my .02

It was pretty clear that after MS bought Minecraft that they were afraid to mess with their acquisition, and potentially devalue it. Problem is. One of the more attractive aspects of PC Minecraft were the constant updates and new features. By letting it stagnate over the past year, they've lost a great deal of the anticipation that was perviously associated with it.

That's a bit of a 'damned if you do, damned if you don't' situation though, because if Microsoft did tamper with Minecraft's core elements straight off the bat, there would've been uproar. I'm personally pleased that there hasn't been a real overhaul of the game or its underlying culture, but you're right, content updates have tapered off somewhat. Let's hope this one reignites the interest ahead of the Windows 10 version.

Yeah ever since I started playing Terraria I haven't gone back to Minecraft. I still like Minecraft but the amount of content in Terraria is insane, there is just so much more to do and collect especially now that the massive 1.3 update just came out.

As much as I used to love and play Minecraft, their updates leave something to be desired. This is especially true when you compare it to some of the modpacks out there. I mean, who even plays vanilla Minecraft? People who can't run the modpacks... Add mod support. That is the only thing I ask. Even if you do nothing else for this game. That is all I want. At this rate I'll see it in 2020 if I'm lucky.
